  • Fr. Simeon (Zaharia) of Sihastria Monastery, Romania, gives us his last advice, his last words before death. He is now 94 years old and lives in a hermitage in the Romanian mountains. "My last words: 'pray, pray, pray without ceasing, wherever you are.' When our mind is elsewhere we don't benefit from it. God wants us not to forget Him for a moment. I hope... but I can't force God to do what I want... I just pray, I humbly pray. Humility and again humility..."

    This was a revelation from Fr. Simeon because he knows the spiritual battle we’re in. He’s knows there’s no “penance in the afterlife”. Praying without ceasing and forgiveness is our hope for salvation. May God bless him!

      I will give to you the truth. The Gospel of Salvation;
      1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV; " Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" (Don't believe in vain (yourself) believe in God, Jesus Christ who died for your sins and rose again after three days)
      Ephesians 2:8-9; "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Nothing but the blood of Jesus)
      Isaiah 64:6: “all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags” (we cannot work up to heaven)
      Assurance of Salvation;
      Colossians 2:2 (full assurance of understanding),
      Acts 17:3 (God will judge, Jesus rose)
      Deuteronomy 28:66 (You will die someday cause of sin)
      Isaiah 32:17 (forever his righteousness)
      1 Thessalonians 1:5 (What Jesus did was powerful, much assurance, gospel)
      Hebrews 6:11 (Full assurance of hope)
      Hebrews 10:22 (Full assurance)
      Summary: Salvation is through faith in the blood atonement of Christ. "Once saved, always saved."

      @@E.C.2 Orthodox have confession. I read Fr Walters 2 books. He had it bad, but some Romanian priests were in solitary confinement for 11 years without even a pencil to write with. They made the older prisoners torture the newer prisoners. People cracked and went insane Fr Walter suffered, but you can't believe some of the other stories. Just letting you know. Many Orthodox have a very low opinion of Jesuits and Uniates, so you may run into some hostility when discussing Fr Walter. Plus, Rome did have a program to convert the Russians, taking advantage of their situation.
      But I like Fr Walter cuz he was from Shenandoah PA.

      The Gospel of Salvation;
      1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV; " Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" (Don't believe in vain (yourself) believe in God, Jesus Christ who died for your sins and rose again after three days)
      Ephesians 2:8-9; "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Nothing but the blood of Jesus)
      Isaiah 64:6: “all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags” (we cannot work up to heaven)
      Assurance of Salvation;
      Colossians 2:2 (full assurance of understanding),
      Acts 17:3 (God will judge, Jesus rose)
      Deuteronomy 28:66 (You will die someday cause of sin)
      Isaiah 32:17 (forever his righteousness)
      1 Thessalonians 1:5 (What Jesus did was powerful, much assurance, gospel)
      Hebrews 6:11 (Full assurance of hope)
      Hebrews 10:22 (Full assurance)
      Summary: Salvation is through faith in the blood atonement of Christ. "Once saved, always saved."

    I am so glad to watch this video and I learn from the wisdom shared in it, to Focus on prayer without ceasing , being steadfast in the LORD, morning , noon and night thinking of God's love and mercy, praying with humility, and beg to be saved of the LORD and be focused in the things of the LORD and to forgive what wasn't well said , or what wasn't well done etc . This video is so touching, because It reminds me of words of my earthly father too that we should always have in our heart Deuteronomy 6. According to the Torah "law"

    I became Christian at a treatment centre when I came off crystal meth 6 years ago at 21 years old with a 16 year old pregnant girlfriend. Now we are a happy and blessed family. When you graduate the program you get to pick a bible verse that most impacted you or that would be beneficial to others and they blow it up on a big screen in the diner. Mine was 1 Thess 5:16,17,18. “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, be thankful in all circumstances.” His last words are truly impacting. This holy man’s last words are deeply impacting and true for anyone who knows the life transforming power of prayer.
